sbt/sbt-protobuf

This system is an sbt plugin that automates the generation of Java and gRPC code from Protocol Buffers definitions. It manages the build lifecycle by compiling .proto files, handling dependency schemas, and ensuring cache invalidation when source files change. The plugin supports multi-project setups, task scoping, and compatibility with modern sbt and Scala versions.

6 changes.

The project was established with initial scaffolding, documentation, and basic integration tests for protobuf compilation. Subsequent work focused on modernizing the build infrastructure by migrating the plugin to sbt 1.0/2.0 and Scala 3, while updating core dependencies and expanding test coverage for file handling and proto3 syntax.

7 changes.

This period focused on expanding the test suite to cover task-scoped generation, multi-project setups, gRPC integration, and dependency cleanup. It also introduced behavioral changes to improve build cache invalidation and added configuration options for excluding schema files and customizing output paths.

The repository is initialized with core project files, including an Apache 2.0 LICENSE, a .gitignore, and a version.sbt configuration using sbtdynver for dynamic versioning. Comprehensive usage documentation is added to README.md, detailing how to integrate the sbt-protobuf plugin, configure protobuf and gRPC settings, and manage generated source files. Additionally, a .scala-steward.conf file is introduced to pin the protobuf-java dependency to the 3.x series.

The sbt-protobuf plugin now correctly invalidates its build cache when the content of imported .proto files changes, ensuring that generated code stays in sync with dependencies. Additionally, the plugin respects new configuration options that allow users to exclude specific schema files from generation and customize the output directory and file patterns, providing finer control over the build process.

The sbt-protobuf plugin has been completely rewritten to support sbt 1.0+ and Scala 3, replacing the legacy \Plugin\ base with \AutoPlugin\ and introducing a \ScopedProtobufPlugin\ that allows configuration scoping (e.g., for Test vs Compile). This change introduces Scala 2/3 compatibility shims (\ProtobufPluginCompat\) to handle API differences in file handling and classpath management, updates the default protobuf version to 3.17.3, and modernizes the build structure by removing obsolete compatibility code for sbt 0.10/2.8 and sbt 0.13.x. Users will see improved integration with sbt's built-in caching, better handling of protoc executable paths with spaces, and support for gRPC code generation via the new \protobufGrpcEnabled\ setting.

Add basic protobuf 3 test schemas; Added integration tests for sbt-protobuf basic functionality; Added multi-project scripted test for sbt-protobuf; Added sbt-protobuf gRPC integration test; Added scripted tests for protobuf file deletion behavior; Added test for protobuf exclude functionality; Added test protocol buffer definitions for task-scoped tests; Added test suite for protobuf dependency schema cleanup; Added tests for task-scoped protobuf generation.

The plugin now supports sbt 2.0 (specifically 2.0.8) alongside sbt 1.5.8, enabling users to build with the latest sbt version. It also updates the default protobuf-java dependency to version 3.25.9 and protoc-gen-grpc-java to 1.84.0. Additionally, the build now generates a \SbtProtobufBuildInfo\ object to expose these default versions to the plugin code, and includes scripted tests to verify behavior across different sbt versions and protobuf configurations.
